Abstract:
|
This paper shows that people who condone punitive violence within their society also tend to support higher levels of defense spending. I suspect that a psychological spillover effect occurs between norms of social violence and norms of international conflict. I test this hypothesis using U.S. opinion data collected by several General Social Survey (GSS) polls from 1986 to 1994. The GSS items are imperfect measures for the punitive violence norms that would be most likely to spillover to military policy preferences, and the GSS items on military policy preferences are even more limited. However, the evidence examined here clearly shows a link between punitive violence norms?particularly support for capital punishment, but also for spanking, for fighting attackers and intruders, and for punishing affronts?and defense spending preferences. |
